Ryan Phelan's tips, strategy & Quaddie for a big 9-race card from Shepparton Tuesday night.

R1 – 6:04m – Leo, Warren & Kevin Newbound Memorial Pace - 2190m

4 – Sabita

8 – Vinceska

10 – Heavens Gift

12 – Telern Lofty

Sabita looks like a strong way to start the night with confidence. She was well-backed first-up last week before the race was abandoned due to an incident. I expect her to roll straight to the front and dictate the tempo, so while she’s fresh over 2190m, she should have enough in reserve to kick strongly late.

BACK: 4 Sabita – 4 Units (win)

R2 – 6:32pm – Ben & Anne O’Donoghue Memorial Pace Final – 2190m 

3 – Karuma Kev

2 – Iamawingate

11 – Sir Sonny Maguire

13 – Witchita Kansas

R3 – 7:02pm – Gordon Warner Memorial Trot Final – 2190m 

5 – Settle The Bill

4 – Abbie

12 – Lizzies Son

10 – Dona Amalia

R4 – 7:39pm – Kath Muir Memorial Pace – 1690m 

9 – Racing Writer

4 – Interpretation

5 – Ivana Bytheseaside

3 – Nomorelying

Racing Writer steps back to a more suitable grade after a fair effort last start from a favourable draw. With solid early speed expected from the front row, driver Chris Alford will have the opportunity to time his move perfectly and position him for a strong run.

BACK: 9 Racing Writer – 1 Unit (win)

R5 – 8:13pm – Eddie Walsh Memorial Pace – 1690m 

3 – Luvn Osman

5 – King Saint

6 – Wheres Lexi

8 – Maxbeca

Luvn Osman remains a maiden but gets his best opportunity to break through from a favourable draw, allowing him to be driven aggressively for the lead. The distance suits him, and his strong effort last start at Mildura suggests he's heading in the right direction.

BACK: 3 Luvn Osman – 1 Unit (win)

R6 – 8:47pm – Mickey & Dorrie Cormican Memorial Pace – 2190m 

1 – Day Two

4 – Martyr

9 – Dressed In Gold

6 – Mongiana

Day Two is worth considering at good odds, as this race shapes well for him to improve on recent form. He competed against top three-year-old company last prep, and in three runs this campaign he’s been solid to the line. Now at peak fitness, he maps for a favourable run and looks a genuine value chance.

BACK: 1 Day Two – 1 Unit (win)

R7 – 9:21pm – Vin McConnell Memorial Maiden Pace – 1690m 

6 – Minaloa Rock

1 – Hellodarlin

5 – Always On Safari

10 – Betterbwatching

R8 – 9:55pm – Michael Hayes Memorial Trot – 2190m 

4 – Mac Flick

3 – Ezra Kai

2 – Sista Evarista

1 – Tedesco

Mac Flick has been racing consistently and is well-positioned to secure his third win in seven starts. While there is potential early speed from the three runners drawn inside him, their racing manners can be unpredictable, which could see him map favourably. His fitness and reliability make him a strong contender in a race of this nature.

BACK: 4 Mac Flick – 1.5 Units (win)

R9 – 10:26pm – Pacing For Pink Maiden Trot – 2190m 

6 – Gianvito

4 – Twist Tee

1 – Hody Moke

2 – Im In Style

Gianvito steps out for his second start after a questionable debut, where he made mistakes despite some market support. He was sent back to trial following that run and produced a solid effort at Melton. If he reproduces that and stays on his best behaviour, he’s right in the mix to win.

BACK: 6 Gianvito – 1.5 Units (win)
